automatic upgrade_export

[longhill]

I want automatic upgrade_export.

[Expert@MNGFW01]# crontab -e:


50 12 * * * cd /opt/CPsuite-R62/fw1/bin/upgrade_tools
51 12 * * * echo | ./upgrade_export appoggio
25 13 * * * oggi=`date`
26 13 * * * mv appoggio.tgz.tar $oggi
27 13 * * * scp $oggi r...@172.28.121.16:/data/backup_2008


[Expert@MNGFW01]# less /var/log/cron


Apr 30 12:50:00 MNGFW01 CROND[22798]: (root) CMD (cd /opt/CPsuite-R62/
fw1/bin/upgrade_tools)
Apr 30 12:51:00 MNGFW01 CROND[22806]: (root) CMD (echo | ./
upgrade_export appoggio)

Apr 30 13:26:00 MNGFW01 CROND[22974]: (root) CMD (mv appoggio.tgz.tar
$oggi)
Apr 30 13:27:00 MNGFW01 CROND[22980]: (root) CMD (scp $oggi
r...@172.28.121.16:/data/backup_2008 )
Apr 30 13:28:30 MNGFW01 crontab[22988]: (root) LIST (root)

Apr 30 13:30:05 MNGFW01 crontab[22997]: (root) END EDIT (root)


If I run commands without crontab all ok!
With crontab run upgrade_export but does not create anything!


What happens?
Where is the error?

cron does not maintain the "context" across multiple entries like your shell (bash/sh/etc.) does. Your best bet is to put all of those commands into a new script file and run that new script from cron. (make sure the new script is executable)
